33 Portland Place

06-05-2007, 08:52 PM

The grand property at 33 Portland Place is one of the finest houses in London. A vast spread in the exclusive heart of the West End, it has played host to some of the most glamourous and best-known faces in the world, becoming a social setting unmatched in the city with spectacular scenery and a unique atmosphere.

Edward Davenport is equally unique. Davenport is one of Britainâ€™s most flamboyant entrepreneurs, a businessman renowned for taking chances and living a life of adventure. A man who has earned his own wealth, Davenport enjoys the rewards his successes bring while remaining utterly dedicated to his businesses.

He lives the high life in Monaco and London, rubbing shoulders with celebrity friends such as Jean-Claude Van Damme, Pink and Fifty Cent. He has a jet, beautiful homes and a collection of sports cars which would make any man jealous - including a Ferrari 360 Spider, an Aston Martin Virage Volante, a Rolls Royce Phantom and a Lamborghini.

A regular feature on the social pages and in the Rich Lists of newspapers and magazines, Davenport was recently the subject of a profile published by the London Evening Standard, which described him as â€œtall, slim and Draculineâ€¦with a constant tanâ€¦and a penchant for sharp suits and Rolex watchesâ€?

His reputation is enhanced by the kind of visitors and events 33 Portland Place attracts. It has hosted parties for the likes of Cher and Boy George while guests have included Kate Moss, Gisele and Naomi Campbell. And there is more: Johnny Depp has filmed there; Vogue threw a party in Davenportâ€™s house; the BBC have used it for filming with Rupert Everett; and it has been the venue for photoshoots by endless cutting-edge magazines, among them Arena, GQ, Playboy, FHM, Esquire, ES, Vogue, Harpers
